Join Bee Health and Shape the Future of Employee Relations

Bee Health is one of the UK's leading contract manufacturers of vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements, supplying some of the world's biggest brands and retailers from our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bridlington. We are seeking an experienced Senior Employee Relations Specialist to join our growing HR team and play a key role in supporting managers and employees across our business. Based on-site and reporting directly to the HR & Compliance Director, this role offers the opportunity to have a significant impact on employee relations, management capability and organisational performance.

The Role

This is a hands-on, specialist HR role focused on managing complex employee relations matters while coaching and developing managers across the business.

You will take ownership of disciplinary, grievance, capability, absence management, flexible working, investigations and appeal cases, ensuring fair, consistent and legally compliant outcomes. You'll also work closely with operational leaders to strengthen management capability, improve decision-making and support workforce initiatives.

As Bee Health operates a 24-hour, 7-day manufacturing operation, flexibility is essential. The successful candidate will be expected to adapt their working hours where reasonably required to engage with managers and employees working across day, night and weekend shifts and to provide support during time-sensitive operational matters. This is not a standard 9-5 HR role.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage complex employee relations cases from investigation through to outcome and appeal.
• Conduct and support workplace investigations, evidence gathering and report writing.
• Provide expert employment law and policy advice to managers.
• Support absence management, Occupational Health referrals and reasonable adjustments.
• Coach managers to improve confidence and capability in handling people matters.
• Analyse employee relations and absence trends to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Support organisational change, restructuring and workforce planning initiatives.
• Maintain robust governance, documentation and reporting standards.
• Line manage the HR Administrator and support the ongoing development of the HR function.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• CIPD Level 5 qualification (or equivalent experience)
• Extensive experience managing complex employee relations casework
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and ACAS guidance
• Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, warehousing, logistics or another fast-paced operational environment
• Excellent investigation, report-writing and coaching skills
• The confidence to challenge, influence and support managers at all levels
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A flexible and pragmatic approach, with the ability to work across different shifts and operational demands when required

Why Join Bee Health?

• Competitive salary of £40,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
• Key role within a growing HR team
• Opportunity to influence people practices and organisational culture
• Exposure to a diverse range of operational and strategic HR activities
• Career development opportunities within Bee Health and the wider INW Group
• Work in a successful and expanding manufacturing business

At Bee Health, our values are at the heart of everything we do:

Quality • Teamwork • Efficiencies • Pride • Ownership
